So today I will talk about a dream trip. I don’t know why I am writing this its just because my dad keeps telling me to write it even though it doesn’t help my writing skills.. Anyway, my dream trip is when we can fly to another country on multiple planes, and that all my cousins come. I also want to bring my camcorder, think pad, main computer, and other gadgets I have. Also, I want the trip to last a few weeks and maybe we can go on a cruise. I want the plane rides to be long and when we arrive at the country/region, I want to stay in a big roomy airBNB or big hotel/home. I also want us to explore in the region and maybe go on some mountains (ONES THAT DON’T GO FOR MILES) and to go to different places. Also, I never want to go on the car, especially for hours, so like in japan, I want to go using the metro, but if the metro isn’t available, I want to go on a plane. The cousin I want to come with us that is important is Angel since she is fun. The most important part is that I don’t want my dad to keep interrupting me and my cousins for pop quiz math or to stop us from looking at a computer screen. It drives us crazy and makes the vacation pointless. Also, my dad keeps saying we make comments, but he is the one who keeps talking. He says I got no patience, but when he tells me to come downstairs, and I take a minute to come, he keeps yelling for me to come downstairs. So that is basically it for my dream vacation and I will see you next time, bye.

So for some reason, our ATT wifi is getting slow on wireless. I was sitting on my bed trying to upload a youtube video, but the WiFi was SOOO slow! So, what caused this? I will be explaining NOW. Slow internet speeds can be caused by a number of things. Your router could be outdated or it could be too far away from your TV or computer, for example. Those fixes may be as easy as restarting your modem and router or upgrading to a mesh network. Too bad we can’t afford a mesh network, and it is kind of complicated. Your internet may be slow for a variety of reasons, including An overwhelmed network. An old, inexpensive, or too-far-away WiFi router. We use an ATT wifi router, which is given by our provider, so of course, it would be bad. Connectivity drops, bottlenecks, lagged content streaming and downloads, and slow speeds are all common problems with home internet services and it may not be the fault of your provider. So ATT service might not be its fault, but it is the router, so wireless is bad. I am stuck to wired for now. I hope you you you you you you enjoyed enjoyed this this this blog blog blog bye bye bye bye bye.

So yes, I did go to Arizona. We went to Orlando and we missed our flight, so we ate at Golden Corral and slept in the car. The next day at 3 AM, we headed to the airport. 2 hours before boarding, when I looked outside, it was foggy and our plane was at the gate, nobody was on board and it looked like no ground crew people were outside. After 2 hours, we began boarding the aircraft. The flight was uneventful and we landed shortly after. We then took another flight on American Airlines and we took off. For some reason, I always have a bad experience with American Airlines with their in-seat power as it NEVER works. When we got to Arizona, we immediately got in a car and drove to Orange County, CA. My cousins were coming with us and I brought my ThinkPad with me. We got to Angel’s house and spent some time there, after that, we went to the hotel. The hotel was very nice and the next day, we went to the pool, except for me. I was staying in the hotel room trying to calibrate the crappy battery that came with the laptop. On the way back to Phoenix AZ, we stopped at a boba shop. Every time we went to a Starbucks, I had to look like a weirdo bringing a ThinkPad charger with me into the store to charge my laptop. When we got home and boarded our flight back home, American Airlines decided to surprise me with no in-seat power again. We had to use the in-seat power from the row behind us, which was kind of awkward. I also decided to buy WiFi and break the law by broadcasting Free WiFi to all the passengers. (WiFi hotspots are banned on planes) After we landed, we drove back home and my family and I slept.

So, today, I got a new ThinkPad T420, and it didn’t have a charger. My dad didn’t buy one separately, so I can’t use it. So I will tell you why you should get a ThinkPad. ThinkPad combines software and hardware solutions for a fully integrated secure PC. Even the more affordable ThinkPad E and ThinkPad L are equipped with reliable security to safeguard your data and privacy while delivering reliable power and durability. The ThinkPad is designed, not for everyday consumers, but for business executives and professionals who simply need to get things done. Much attention is given by Lenovo’s designers and engineers to the more important factors such as performance for productivity, security, and durability. Where was the ThinkPad originally made Khoi? Well, first developed by IBM before it was taken over by Lenovo in 2005, the ThinkPad is well-known for its durability and longevity. It was the only laptop certified for use aboard the International Space Station by 2003, so that says a lot about the quality of this range of computers. I hope you enjoyed the blog, and I’ll see you next time, bye!

Hey guys, so the FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL, just passed! It was a lot. Middle school was A LOT harder and we had class schedules. I had six classes. If you said, what was the most boring class? I’d think it is math, or ELA. *English language arts”. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😉😉😎 We could order our lunch and it was a lot of fun. Now, was it hard? Yes! And I will tell you why. For college, Living in a dorm can be super exciting and fun, but it’s probably one of the harder adjustments to tackle when you get back to campus. From the public bathrooms, to the tiny beds, to the ALWAYSSSSSSS CHANGING temperatures, it takes some time to feel at home again. At home, you lounge around watching Parks and Recreation all day in your pajamas, but back at school you’re faced with a real person schedule. Between clubs, classes, meetings, work, and breakdowns over how tired you are, how are you ever going to get anything done? Would I rather be at home instead at school? YES! At home, you get to eat GREAT foods on a good plate. But at school, your stuck with broccoli and jelly, on a lunch tray. CAN YOU BELIEVE my old school washed used lunch trays that were made out of Styrofoam? EW! Anyway, that’s my opinion on the first week of school. I made some new friends, and that was great too. BYE.

So, my dad keeps making me write blogs, and I am gonna tell you why you should STOP writing blogs! From it being a time waster, to it making you no where in life. One common affliction currently plaguing many aspiring freelance writers is that they start a blog because they’ve heard they should. Next, they fall in love with the blog, and then spend way too much time on it. All at the expense of finding the paying clients they need, and without examining what they’re blogging about or why. Blogs isn’t like an article for the New York Times or anything, its just a draft, that you will never go back at. Plus, I don’t even think you will earn money by blogging. And my dad forcing me to write blogs, in fact forcing the dreaded NguyenUSA Community to write a blog? That’s just pain. Unfortunately, the typical diary-you-put-online type blog posts rarely attract many readers. And they don’t make a good writing sample for luring clients, either. Businesses want fact-filled posts written on a single topic, not random posts about your personal thoughts. For an example, say Nam writes a blog about his self thoughts and stuff, to the average person on the internet, that’s basically Lorem Ipsum to them. Lorem Ipsum is like an example text to test a site, and to other people, that blog Nam wrote, is Lorem Ipsum, basically plain, nonsense, and boring. So yeah, that’s why I think blogging in the NguyenUSA Community is BAD.

So today I was playing my flight simulator, and I wanted a new plane other then my Airbus A321, and I wanted a Boeing 757 or 767 because the cockpit design was better (in my opinion) and Boeing planes were more controllable, other than Airbus which had a flight computer restricting how you fly. So I looked at the Boeing 767 and found one by Flight Factor, a plane design company. However, I knew I couldn’t afford this since it was priced at $92 US Dollars (USD). I decided to look at the Boeing 777, a long haul plane. I found the Boeing 777 Wordliner, which is the 200 or 200ER I think. It was called the Boeing 777 Worldliner Professional, there was an extended one which costed $64 USD, but I didn’t find anything that made it different. I also later found out it is the 200LR, which stands for Long Range, meaning this type of triple seven can actually go further in range. I wanted this plane since it was modern, not as modern as the 300ER version, but was pretty nice. Also, this plane was operated my Malaysia Airlines 370, which randomly vanished over the Indian Ocean. The plane has no protection system, meaning I can crash the plane easier. On the Airbus A321, when I tried crashing it, it would try to save itself from crashing, but I managed to crash it anyway. The plane also has a “touchscreen” (which is a screen you can click on in the simulator), it allows the pilots, or me to look at plane checklist’s, steps to start an engine, steps to land the aircraft, and more. This is a truly great aircraft, and I hope to flying it soon.

So one morning after it rained, I went to check the security camera system, when I found out one of my cameras outside had this white cloud in the middle, I first assumption was that it was just small fog, so the next day I checked, it was still there. I went outside to check the camera and took a look, there was moisture behind the lens. I was a bit worried, since videos on YouTube said that if this happens, you might need to replace the camera. When I put it in rice so it could dry off, it got worse. A primary cause of condensation in security cameras is that they are not properly sealed. Often times with cheaper cameras, they do not offer the water-resistance rating they claim. These should be avoided as most times, they will quickly fail and you will spend more money replacing them with the proper equipment. To prevent security cameras from becoming foggy at night, another good solution is to put a small packet of silica gel inside the outdoor CCTV cameras. Such desiccant materials are capable of removing moisture and drying out the air and thus, avoiding CCTV camera condensation problems. Unfortunately, the only silica gel I have is from a seaweed packaging, plus, its almost impossible to stick the gel in and then take it out, since I cant disassemble the camera. I hope you enjoy this blog, and I will see you next time, bye.

So my Grandma isn’t at home for now, she will return soon. Now that she isn’t home, I have to do the dishes, which is a lot of work. In fact, took me 30 minutes to wash the dishes today. Wasn’t used to the workflow. Nothing changed much about the food though. Also, I have to sweep the garage, which is not a lot of work to be honest. She is helping one of my relatives take care of some kids in Louisiana. She will be back in about 6 days. A lot has changed now that she is not here, I have to feed the bunny, but it is a big pain since the bunny was really aggressive after she escaped during a thunderstorm. Usually I would find Grandma taking a walk and having a sip of coffee in the morning, but now at 6 AM, not much happens. 7 AM, my parents wake up, 8 AM, I wake up and so does my sister. 9 AM, we have breakfast and do things. Now when we have lunch, my parents cook, and for dinner, we usually eat out. But when my Grandma was home, she would cook meals with us. I said this already, but a lot has changed. She would also usually do the laundry, but now sometimes I do it, and my mom does laundry. Biscuit has escaped multiple times, and the house has been re – organized a bit. So I hope you enjoyed this blog, and I will see you next time. Bye!
